With a view to give a practical exposure about the working of an industrial unit and also enhancing the theoretical knowledge, an industrial visit to Bangalore Milk Union Limited (BAMUL), Bengaluru was organized by Dr. Sadaf Anwar, Associate Professor (Finance) for PGDM students (Batch 2023-2025) from April 22-24, 2024.

The visit started with briefing about the introduction of BAMUL to the students. Thereafter, students were briefed about the inception of BAMUL, the activities carried out by BAMUL such as checking the quality of milk which is received by the milk processing unit, heat treatment given to the milk, like pasteurization, homogenization because raw milk procured from villages, contain numerous pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. These microorganisms, if allowed to grow, multiply at logarithmic rate and produce many toxins and enzymes and spoil milk. Hence milk is processed by heat treatment in dairies. After the briefing, students were taken to visit the plant were milk is processed and packed. Finally the visit ended with the question answer session where students clarified their doubts and the students were very happy about the visit to BAMUL. Overall it was a good learning experience for the students to visit the factory and get exposure regarding Operations management, Warehousing, Human resource management, Funds management and Marketing of Processed Milk.
